element_size
The element size.
element_type
The element type for mapped meshing algorithms:
0 - Trias
1 - Quads
2 - Mixed
3 - R-trias
element_type2
The element type for free meshing algorithms:
0 - Trias
1 - Quads
2 - Mixed
3 - R-trias
link_opposite_edges
0 - Do not link
1 - Link
size_control
0 - Off
1 - On
skew_control
0 - Off
1 - On
edge_mesh_algorithm
0 - Standard
1 - Chordal deviation
min_size
The minimum element size when edge_mesh_algorithm is 1.
max_size
The maximum element size when edge_mesh_algorithm is 1.
chordal_deviation
The chordal deviation value when edge_mesh_algorithm is 1.
max_angle
The maximum angle between edges when edge_mesh_algorithm is 1.
area_width
The new width value.
area_offset
The new offset value.

Examples

To update area connector 10 with width 2.0 and mesh it with a default edge size of 1.0:

*createmark connectors 1 10
* CE_ConnectorAreaMeshWithDetails 1 1.0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2.0 0.0

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
